SEMfirms.com is a popular website that lists the top internet marketing and advertising firms in over 70 countries around the world. After identifying potential top performers, their ratings are based on their analysis of the company’s performance using some points, which include:

This is quite a pleasant surprise for us. As a small, boutique marketing agency, we have to limit ourselves on the number of SEO clients we can service which numbers in the double digits. But we certainly provide outstanding results for those few clients we do accept and we do our best to keep our costs at or below the norm. I believe what really sets us apart is the fact that we are so in-tune with a client's website and work on it as though it were our own. Keyword research is continuous and never considered done. Competitor sites are pain-stakingly tracked and analyzed every month and adjustments are made accordingly. New strategies are constantly developed and tested and fine-tuned per each individually targeted search phrase on each page of a client's site. The results are in the rankings, the great sense of accomplishment here at the agency, and of course in the clients who stay with us for years. In comparison, other firms may take on thousands or even tens of thousands of clients. They process customer websites through standardized SEO systems developed for efficiencies of quantity over quality. That's something we'll never do.

Since 2011 Phoenix has been voting us...

We are as humbled as we are honored to be named as the best in Phoenix Advertising Agencies with 10 or fewer employees. Since our inception back in 1991, we have taken great pride in the creativity of the advertising we have developed for our local and national clients. Along the way, our peers and those within our industry have bestowed upon us many national awards for our advertising campaigns, graphic design, creativity, copywriting and web design. Every one of these holds a special meaning to us because they confirm our ability to consistently deliver A+ work. However, being voted best of the boutique Phoenix advertising agencies by our clients, local businesses and the people of Phoenix touches our hearts. We see it as being honored not only for our work, but for our passion, our steadfast devotion to client success and customer service, our giving back to the community, our support of local charities and for who we are.

Just as exciting to us was being voted as the company providing the best web development, website management, advertising and web design Phoenix has to offer. We started developing websites back when most people still weren’t sure what the internet was. As pioneers we had to develop concepts and functionalities that are today considered commonplace. We have received plenty of recognition for websites we’ve completed over the years. Those awards are exciting for us because they reflect the hard work that went into them. But when our clients and other Phoenix businesses and the people of Arizona named us as the best web design firm in Phoenix, it was truly special. It’s not just about the great websites we develop. It’s a testament to our integrity and character as well as our abilities.

When the businesses and people of Phoenix name us as Best Phoenix Graphic Design Firm, our entire team is humbled. Maintaining a creative edge over the years is as essential to us as it is to our clients. Being recognized by the Phoenix community for this is amazing to us. Our graphic designers are those gifted few left and right brained exceptions who are just as marketing oriented as they are incredibly creative. They develop the strategies behind the goals of a design then design the stunning graphics to accomplish those goals and please the client when they receive lots of attention. Our team of designers have received awards for eye-catching designs since 1992. Our creative department plays a big role in the design of the websites we create as well as all other projects, from logos and annual reports to advertising campaigns and product packaging. To say our graphic designers are talented and versatile would be an understatement. We believe they are simply the best graphic designers Phoenix and Arizona has to offer.

We get asked this all the time. So we should have a short elevator speech right? Heck, we create them for clients so why not for ourselves? Saying we’re a top Phoenix advertising agency doesn’t cut it because we’re much more than that. We’re also ateam of the best web designers Phoenix has to offer. We’re also have some of the best graphic designers in Phoenix and the best marketing firm in Phoenix. But wait, we’re also, SEO professionals, social media specialists, sales and marketing consultants, and managers, and product and business naming experts. And corporate business and product branding experts, let’s not forget about branding. What is branding? It’s surprising the number of business owners who still don’t quite understand that one. Let's sum that one up by saying the brand is the most valuable asset a business owns and yet it is perhaps the most misunderstood and neglected asset of most companies.

The truth is, what we offer is always changing. It has to. Technology evolves. The world is changing. You either stay on the leading edge or fall behind. We prefer being in front. The view’s better and we would get bored if we weren't. So when someone asks what we do maybe we should just say “we do everything necessary to market your product, service or business.” Well we’ve tried that one and their eyes glaze over. They can’t quite grasp that concept - too broad and a really bad conversation starter. Or we could say “we’re idea people.” Well we are, but what the heck does that mean to the other guy in the elevator? So what do we say? We typically cater our response to the situation. We’ll let him talk first then try to identify what areas he might need help with and focus on that aspect of our business. Of course we make it sound really cool too - because it is! We're never bored around here.

Ware Pet Products is a dynamic, made-to-order, pet specialty products manufacturer and importer. They sell products through distributors to independent pet stores under the Ware brand. They also provide private label branding to large retailers such as PetSmart and Petco.

Ware is well-known in the industry but their branding lacked personality. We developed a brand strategy that focused on people having fun with their pets, including creating the tagline, "Ware Pets Play". Further marketing efforts included trade show display design.

"I can't offer enough thanks to Ave 25 for the transformation of our brand. We're looking forward to continuing the change and making it a true top-of-mind brand again." John Gerstenberger | Product Development/Sourcing

quick test: could you describe your brand voice?

What is your brand personality? How about your brand essence or promise? Ask questions like these at most businesses and you're likely to get blank stares. That's usually because those questions just haven't been considered. As part of the Brand Positioning & Strategy, we worked closely with the Ware stakeholders to understand brand attributes, priorities and more. One outcome was that we identified key personality traits for the Ware brand and took care to impart them in copywriting, photography and other ways of communicating the brand. FUN for example, is one of 5 brand personality traits.

Fun!We love our pets. We know animals can get bored, like the rest of us. Therefore we believe it is essential to provide exciting, new ways for our pets to explore and have fun every single day. Packing design just looks fun on every panel—and then some (note the cute hamster on the Hay Roller packaging design flap. The flap gets tucked in and isn't typically visible, but would be a fun surprise to anyone who encounters it.)

we must know precisely who we're designing for

Design is but one aspect of a website. By carefully evaluating the unique Ware website users, we created a site structure we knew would meet the specific needs of their important audiences – end users, retailers, and wholesale partners.

Back End Development - Time to Shine

Working with older legacy business systems can pose unforseen challenges. Trying to combine them with the latest website technology and it gets complex quickly. The Ware website needed to serve up product pages and information that resided on a proprietary purchasing database, not a standard web server. Further, for security reasons, this information wasn't online at all. This required custom configuration and script writing to port ever-relevant data to the website at any given time. Our development team didn't miss a step. We met with the Ware systems administrators to understand their side and worked out a plan that minimized impact on their system.

Upon launch there wasn't a single glitch.

Ware came to us for a website update. They received that, plus, now they have a top tier brand in their industry.
